  • Mistakes I made as a Newbie
    inwall75: I made sooooo many mistakes on my entry into this hobby that it's completely embarrassing. What are some of your mistakes?
  • Refugium Organisms
    xmetalfan99: I am thinking about adding some scallops, a few feather dusters, a few mangroves and maybe a small amount of cheato for pods. My goal is to use filter feeding organisms more than macro algaes. Can anyone suggest some other filter feeders that would be good for my fuge?
  • Can I use play sand?
    Gexx: I have heard a lot of controversy over the use of play sand in aquariums. It's $3.00 for 40 lbs so its real cheap. I know they have silicates and the diatoms would take care of that right? Just want some ideas so I can save some $$$ in the long run. Thanks.

Transgenic Fish: Is this a good idea?

A professor of fisheries and aquaculture from the University of Rhode Island and a team of graduate students have developed transgenic fish - trout in particular - that have 'enhanced' muscle mass. They "spent 500 hours injecting 20,000 rainbow trout eggs with various DNA types designed to inhibit myostatin. Of the eggs that hatched, 300 carried the gene that led to increased muscle growth. After two years, most exhibited a “six-pack ab” effect, even though fish lack standard abdominal muscles. They also have increased musculature throughout, including a prominent dorsal hump that made them look like they had muscular shoulders."


(Warning - this video is a bit disturbing)

The Battery Box Gravity-Fed Refugium: DIY Fun

I am a DIY guy. If it involves giant drill-bits, jig-saws and toxic chemicals - count me in. The battery box refugium was a great DIY project I had fun with yesterday. My Neo Nano aquarium is about 34 gallons and I wanted to build a refugium that was proportional and would not take up existing sump space. Another requirement was that the refugium was designed in a way that did not light up the whole living room at night. So with this in mind, I began the DIY version of the pub crawl and starting hitting the local hardware stores. When I stumbled on the Attwood Battery Guard Box, the fun began.
